I, like many others, am a creature of habit. I have enjoyed the flavor of a particular brand of whiskey for the past few years.  However, Ive decided to branch out and see what else I may enjoy.  I have delved into the realm of the somewhat unthinkable, Japanese whiskey.  Ive always thought of the country of being the origin of good rice wine or Saki, which I do enjoy as well.  BUT, from the recommendation of my local store owner, I tried Sensei for a different take. It seemed to have good reviews and had a decent median price that I usually sample from of around $45.  I brought it home and didn’t open it for a few days as the weekend came around. Then, I did a taste taste compared to my usual, Knob Creek. 

The differences are absolutely notable on first encounter. The smell is sweeter and simpler, lacking the Smokey notes of American bourbon/whiskey.  This smells more like a scotch.  I tasted the same as the nose already hinted towards.  It’s a lesser complex yet compound flavor.  This is blended malt whiskey, which I have never heard of and explains the scotch flavor.  My overview, this is a very good venture and I plan on sipping more and other choices in the near future.  I highly suggest giving this a try.

I really like the knob creek 120, but my favorite is jeremiah weed bourbon liqueur

KensAuto:
If you like Japanese whiskey, try some Jim Beam. I heard that it was pretty decent.

But seriously, I cried the day they sold out.

One positive thing I can say for the Japanese is that they have maintained a cultural awareness and reverence for CRAFTSMANSHIP, which most of our current generation in the US have no understanding nor grasp of!  Their Tea Ceremony is more about honor, respect and etiquette than the actual cup of tea.....at least THEY are unlikely to squeeze the last dollar out of the industry/company and wreck the product in the process.

That’s coming from someone who’s best friend’s father fought at Iwo Jima and heard some of the horror that he’d witnessed first hand.....
